This is one of the finest meals you will ever have in your life! The creates his dishes with live of cooking and a life time of experience with the finest foods and foodstuffs on the planet. And to be in the restaurant is to be a part of a community that laughs and shares wine and jokes as we together watch how Guy do his magic in the kitchen. There is always warmth and laughter

RSVP has been in West Cornwall for 24 years and I was lucky to finally get a spot with my wife on quiet West Cornwall Friday evening. The 5-course dining included Cheese Souffle, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Chicken Thigh with Duck combo, Filet Mignon with Potato Galette, and a Brownie Desert. I am not a Cream of Mushroom soup person - but this was the best I have ever had - 5-star. The 3-hr experience includes a "halftime" break allowing you to go outside to take in "downtown" West Cornwall. Very quaint and romantic experience. Looking for a special night out - I would recommend RSVP.

A truly unique experience. One dinner is served a night and it is traditional French cuisine set in an intimate cafe setting. Seven good size portions and a dessert means you will definitely be full. The food comes out at a good pace and the front man always has some witty comments. Bring your best bottle of wine, legendary empty bottles fill the restaurant from past dinners. It is shocking seeing some of the negative reviews of this place from people who would be better served eating at an Applebees. Don't go here if you're expecting to stop in and get a fast meal. You must call ahead and give your best pitch to the answering machine and hope to get a call back with a reservation.

Angry owner that seems to be more angey if you show up there. The whole town is closed at the time she opens so I guess that is his trick, nowhere else to go to be scolded by this guy and pay a lot for it

This restaurant transported us to the rustic, flavorful, creative, and transformative meals we had in Paris! A local treasure that also is in one of the most beautiful parts of the state. We look forward to the next visit. Our meal was 7 courses and starting at 7 was a lot to consume. I suggest starting at 6.

The food was exceptionally delicious, and the experience was very pleasant. You don't get a menu, you eat what the chef brings out. We had six courses. Officially it was five, the amuse bouche was substantial like an appetizer. Wasabi ice cream that was part of the amuse bouche started out the dinner with a bang. I really enjoyed it. It was followed by soup. Then a chicken dish, then a seafood dish, then a beef dish. Each one was excellent with interesting sides and sauces. Then coffee and dessert. The dinner lasted three hours. $140 per person. Plenty of free parking in the front.
Leave your allergies at home. No substitutions! ONLY go if you're prepared to let the chef make ALL the decisions. Like many others, I celebrated my birthday at RSVP. What a place! Unique food experience. I dare not say this is a meal. This is a night out. Expect 3 hours of fun, chat and new friends. It's a very small, very exclusive environment where you meet the chef and the tables around for a fun chat, then meal. Bring your own wine, sit back and let the environment take over.

Guy and Charles provide the very best of gastronomic experiences! Having dined in France, in Manhattan, and in California restaurants known to be at Michelin levels, this little gem is top of the class. Traditional French cooking is based on perfect sauces that complement and enhance the food, and Chef Guy is a master of saucing and pairing. Some have written that Guy isn’t modern; that is certainly true. However, this overlooks the amazing history of traditional French cooking which is the very best in the world. This meal was perfect in every way. One caution; be prepared to dine for 3 hours in leisurely style, and pay $140 per person. Quality has its price, but the experience is unparalleled

One of those hidden gems that I’m almost hesitant to review for fear of giving away the secret. Nonetheless, an awesome, unique experience every time. Embodies the character of northwest CT.

We just celebrated my birthday at RSVP. After having made reservations a month ahead, we were excited to finally experience the unique dining concept offered by this restaurant. No menu from which to order, no bar (BYOB), no credit cards taken, no dietary restrictions or substitutions allowed. The only requirements needed here are an adventurous spirit regarding food and a willingness to embrace whatever culinary delights Chef Guy chooses to prepare for the evening. We spent such a fantastic summer afternoon and evening in the peaceful town of West Cornwall, CT.Dinner begins with a loaf of freshly baked bread with creamy butter. Next comes an amuse-bouche followed by soup, poultry, seafood, meat, and dessert courses. Each course is truly a surprise and I found myself eagerly anticipating what would come next. Trust me, you will find yourself happily immersed in 3 hours of delectable cuisine all of which is perfectly proportioned, plated, and timed in its presentation. Charles is your host, server, and busboy all rolled into one. Charles and Guy have perfected a winning dining formula and you won’t find any restaurant owners more “hands on” than these two gentlemen. I already want to go back in a different season.
